[SPLIT] 3x/5-6=-9 What does x?

In future, kindly please post new questions as new threads, rather than hijacking another student's thread, especially when that other thread is unrelated to your topic. Thank you.

Your formatting is unclear. Do you mean either of the following?

. . . . .\(\displaystyle \frac{3x}{5\, -\, 6}\, =\, -9\)

. . . . .\(\displaystyle \frac{3x}{5}\, -\, 6\, =\, -9\)

"What does x?" is not a complete sentence. Please reply with the complete instructions.

What are your thoughts? What have you tried? How far did you get? Where are you stuck?

Your formatting appears to be clear, but the fact that the 8 and the 1/4 are separate and the 4/2 is not simplified suggests that the current presentation is misleading. Do you mean any of the following?

. . . . .\(\displaystyle w\, +\, \frac{1}{4}\, +\, 8\, =\, w\, +\, \frac{4}{2}\)

. . . . .\(\displaystyle w\, +\, \frac{1}{4}\, +\, 8\, =\, \frac{x\, +\, 4}{2}\)

. . . . .\(\displaystyle \frac{w\, +\, 1}{4}\, +\, 8\,=\, w\, +\, \frac{4}{2}\)

. . . . .\(\displaystyle \frac{w\, +\, 1}{4}\, +\, 8\, =\, \frac{w\, +\, 4}{2}\)

Or did you mean something else?

What have you tried so far? How far did you get? Where are you stuck?

Please be complete. Thank you! :D
